So Eve isn't accountable for herself? She knew that God commanded them not to eat of the tree. What would have been the outcome if Eve ate but Adam chose not to? I don't understand.

[MarleneReynos]

Amen! 🙏🏼💕
The beauty of honoring the God’s design of marriage.
God’s fearing Leadership and wife joyful submission to him.

[RMPStudioB]

He did not protect Eve and his pride would not allow him to admit he was wrong

[acuteeye]

No blame to Adam, no blame to Eve, let's just take and live the lesson. A man should align with God and let the Godly man lead everything, from the principles of couple life to principles of raising the children. The woman is a helper - a helper carries out actions designed by the one needing help; "she carries out actions", not setting the direction/vision. This is the first major story in the holy Books - for a reason

[valerieelizabeth]

This is the question I was asking myself today, where was Adam??

[richardace]

Adam had responsiblilty but they BOTH sinned!

[kvas]

For those who did not understand the consequences of Adam's fall. A fallen man is an animal, a beast.
!was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.
Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, "
No wonder the fallen Adam eats grass in the skins of an animal (Genesis 3:18, 21)

[otrotland]

eve sinned before eating the fruit, she lied about What GOD said, eve said donot touch it, not GOD. Thus that is sinning before eating the fruit.

[davinahamilton]

Brilliant...this teaching is spot on. God didnt tell Eve...she didnt exist when God instructed Adam. What a treat to listen to the correct understanding of Gods Word. Glory to God and Praise The Lord Jesus.

[Ancejfj]

The fall of mankind is a perfect representation of what Adam had to do to save his wife, and Adam willingly ate the food God told him not to eat! Fully knowing that God would kill him because God said he would die if he ate from the tree! I’m so glad God made us like him because I can see the love that God has for mankind that God would have to die for mankind to redeem mankind from God own law that he set in the universe! God human creation is the pinnacle of his divine creation we do not know what are how beautiful we are to God? Just think God almighty willingly would die to save his own creation! That he calls his children? I muse a lot about it some times and wonder what we will be like with glorified bodies like Jesus said after his resurrection time space and matter will not have a hold on us anymore. It’s like the butterfly’s some time I think. We were worms then we lay in the ground then we come back to life and fly away to do God will where ever that takes us! It’s amazing billy graham said it best your soul is worth more than the whole world? I think God showed billy what he would be

God created us with free will. The free will to be obedient to Him or not. Adam and Eve also had this free will. Satan and his angels(demons), also have this free will, except they rebelled against God and conspired to overthrow God, but failed and was kicked out of Heaven.
Jealousy, lies, deceit, hatred, wickedness, sin was developed in satan because of his pride. Therefore satan is the father of lies, and sin, and all kinds of wickedness.
Eve wasn't ignorant of the fact, that she should not eat of that one tree, but with her free will, she allowed herself to be seduced by satan, satan manipulated the truth, he lied to her, and she chose to be disobedient.
Adam was created to be the head of the garden, like the "man of the house, " he had the responsibility of being the overseer, He also knew better. Adam could have corrected His wife, when she offered Him. But, with his free will, Adam also chose to be disobedient.
We all have this free will.
Because of Adam's sin we inherited the curse of sin.
Sin causes, physical deterioration of your body, moral deterioration, and spiritually deterioration, leading to physical death instantaneously, or overtime. Unrepented sin leads to eternal death, eternal seperation from God.
Christ had to come to earth, because Adam failed to be obedient.
Some people ask, Why Christ and not God? Because God is a spirit. He is invisible. He is immortal. He cannot die.
If you have questions about Christ, who He is, and why He came to earth, please read my reply to this comment.
Thank you!

God told him, "because you listened to your wife this is your punishment"!

[Cuvoastoh]

Adam wanted to eat, but didn't want to be the one who did it first, he thought if Eve eats first she is the culprit and he by default would be free to eat.

But the command was given to Adam and Eve knows so little about the command because Adam had failed to teach her. Notice she says the tree that is in the middle of the garden we may not eat from, but the tree in the midst of the garden was the tree of Life and there was no prohibition on it.

In Genesis it says that Adam was naked but not ashamed. This is pure allegory. “Nakedness” is not possessing a fulfilled revelation of the Love of God. When Adam bought into the lying suggestion that God is withholding from Adam a wisdom and glory like His, it was then that Adam became conscious of his “nakedness” and became “ashamed” of it (when he did not need to) and sought to obtain a wisdom and glory like God’s to cover (meet what he mistakenly believed God was withholding from him) his nakedness. He presumed to do so in and through his humanity in a potential possessed apart from God (which is an impossibility for all exist in God). In this way Adam sought to cover his “nakedness” (which he did not need to do) with a wisdom and glory like God’s but obtained through human works (which he did not need to and which he could not do, for it’s an impossibility).

The Law was added because of Adam’s presumption. The Law was designed to teach Adam why his thinking was fallacious (why is was an impossibility) and that it actually served to frustrate the wisdom and glory of God.

Unfortunately, instead of learning from the the Law (it was Adam’s guardian and
schoolmaster) its harsh lessons notwithstanding, Adam continued to seek to obtain
a wisdom and glory like God’s through human works. The Law spoke to these works
and condemned them. Consequently, Adam’s conscience was always afflicting him.   Adam’s presumption stood in the absence of a full revelation of the fulness of Love of God, within which, at the beginning, he had yet to evolve (hence, why he was “naked and unashamed”).   

So, God began to unfold to the mind of Adam the revelation of the knowledge of
the Love of God. God did this through the gospel revealed through the types and
figures of the Law and the Prophets. These all met their fulfilment in the person
of Jesus Christ in whom was manifest the fulfilled revelation of the Love of
God. God through Jesus gifted to Adam the wisdom and glory of God that he had
hitherto unwisely and vaingloriously sought through human works. Jesus Christ
was Adam’s hope of wisdom and glory until he “attained” wisdom and glory as Son
of God in and of his own right, once perfected as a Son of God.

 The wisdom and glory of Christ was appropriated through faith in Christ’s name.  This wisdom and glory was now Adam’s “covering”. It was gifted him to “hide his nakedness” and to remove any “shame” he felt (but which he did not need to). With this “covering” Adam no longer felt any lack, and no longer felt any “shame” of “nakedness”.  

Adam obtained a wisdom and glory like God’s but now it was as it should be—i.e.
in and through God’s potential (which had “all possibilities”) and not in and through
the presumption of a human potential perceived apart from God (which had no possibilities).

This is why Jesus Christ was the “end” (goal and completeness) of the Law and
Prophets for Adam in seeking to obtain a wisdom and glory like God’s (through the
works of the Law). This is how God destroyed the “wisdom” of the “world” of
Adam and its standing before Him, in that identity.

Now, if in the above you substitute “Adam” for Ancient Israel, “presumption”
for sin, and “wisdom and glory” for righteousness, then I think and you will see how this explanation fits well with the testimony of Israel’s ancient scripture.

Adam NEGLECTED Eve... or she NEVER would have wandered away.

[micah]

But Eve was told by Adam. Adam being the one in charge of her. He told her not to eat the fruit. So she disobeyed him. Which is the first sin. God told Adam and Adam told Eve This would still be viewed by her as a command from God to her, as a command from God can come via an intermediary. Hold Eve accountable she messed up. Now they were both thrown out of the Garden cuz Adam at the fruit. No telling what God would have done to Eve if Eve ate alone. But again she disobeyed her husband and also disobeyed God cuz she wanted more then what she had. Which was everything

[firstladyallen]

This brother PREACHED!! I got spiritual understanding that Adam was kicked out of the garden NOT EVE!! Genesis 3:22-24. I was lied to all my life that Eve and Adam was kicked out not so said the HOLY SPIRIT ONLY Adam. Wow!!!

[KJ-jpub]

Thank you for helping explain this very revelation that I received from the Holy Spirit.

[steventhaw]

The command not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was given to Adam not Eve. Therefore Eve was deceived. Adam accepted the fruit from Eve. After all he had not picked it had he! However, he knew the consequence...the transgression of God's command. As a type of Christ Adam did not allow his Wife to die leaving himself alone a second time. So sin entered through Adam and although the consequence on himself and Eve was not immediate it was on the serpent.

[aribbonatatime]

It doesn't say "Eve was deceived but Adam sinned" It says, "Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner."
1 Tim 2:14
